Thoughts on Wordpress 2.5
I will say that the Wordpress team has outdone themselves with this current release. The administrative side has completely been redone, with a much-improved system for managing media. The Write section even has tabs for adding media — images, video, music, etc. I will say that if you’re used to the old Wordpress Administrative interface, the new one will take some getting used to but you might find that you’ll like it. I already do. As for bugs, so far I haven’t found any (but I haven’t really been looking, either) and the plugins that I currently have installed work just fine with 2.5.
And, on to other things. I had seriously hoped to have the Webcomic Manager Plugin released tonight but the way its looking, that isn’t likely going to happen. I’m working on the help files that go with the plugin so anyone who uses it is able to make it work. Keep in mind that the current release is going to be a beta release so there may be some bugs that I haven’t flushed out yet.
Now, as for the comic itself. I’m working on character sheets for the individual characters now. I have Photoshop open with Kira’s character sheet loaded (its been open for the last few hours, actually ^_^;;) but Rowan and Syleth’s are done and you can view them at my Deviant Art page. I’m thinking I should have Kira’s sheet uploaded to Deviant Art within the next few hours, then I can start working on the typography for Pages 6 and 7.
For me, Spring Quarter starts tomorrow. I hope to have an update by the end of next week. I might be able to churn out a page a month afterwards but I’m not making any guarantees. 2008 was supposed to be the year that I was going to turn my life upside down; ie: get my driver’s license, a car and a new job, so we’ll have to wait and see just how much spare time I really have.
